There should be a law against political allegations proceeding in the fashion that Diane Feinstein and the Democrats did with this allegation.
Feinstein truly needs to be censured by the Senate. This is not proper way for a serious political body proper to carry out serious claims against a judge no less.
The law profession denigrates itself as a kangaroo mob by jumping on the political bandwagon. They might be reminded that the F in FBI stands for federal and that means the juridiction of the FBI is limited to federal matters, separation of powers and all.
Of course they would know that. They are lawyers from an elite school of the Ivy league. Obviously, the law doesn't much matter to them, which is why judges like Kavanaugh are needed in the first place.
Legally after so much time has passed, and in the absence of any evidence whatsoever, the answer to whether a crime was potentially committed is unknowable. It is indeterminate and there is no chance that a criminal case can be made any longer, by any legal investigators.
In the court of public opinion however, the system of disclosure has been totally corrupted. It is yellow politics and yellow journalism that smears the name of a person on the basis of one single person's claim in the complete and total absence of any corroborating testimony.
No wonder nobody takes journalists or politicians seriously anymore. They have forfeited any claims to professionalism by abandoning any standards that would guide the industry into more responsible disclosures and discussions of information.
The problem is not with the lady who brought the charges forth against the judge. The potential emotional wreckage of sexually oriented assaults is normally quite devastating for a woman's psyche especially. Women need to be encouraged to speak up, if and when they finally do get their voice.
Professionals however need to deal with the facts presented rationally and dispassionately, critically discern the quality of the evidence being presented before disseminating totally unsubstantiated evidence to the public at large that can be ruinous to the reputations of people.
The truth to the allegation from Ford is unknown and likely unknowable. The probability of that changing is close to zero.
On the other hand, the motivation of Diane Feinstein and the Democrats and the legal thugs that are on their band wagon can be determined to be crass politics with a probability that approaches 100 %.
